    Wait until everyone's been billed

    SE isn't going to be making anymore hardware upgrades until everyone's been billed. 10k for an instance server for duty finder, 50-60k for a world server, hardly seems justifiable if no one plays past their 30day subscription, or their 1.0 subscription. Once the population levels out and SE can determine how many actual players there are playing, they'll make hardware adjustments. But before then it would be foolish to waste that kind of money, only to have the servers sitting empty and unused in a month.

    I have a feeling that many people aren't going to renew. Hopefully this isn't a 1.0 repeat!

    People are getting billed already? Legacy players? Still have 19 free days to go personally.

    And yeah, they might have 50% player retention after free trial if they're really lucky. There are a lot of F2P and good MMO's out there (GW2 off the top of my head) so asking for a subscription means you really have to have a great product to keep people in. And while I'm enjoying FFXIV, it's maybe a 7/10 as far as MMO's go.

    I think most of people who are playing the game don't post on this forum.
